"General, all the Russian men have been slaughtered." The leader of the blood-stained Cossack mercenaries, Zardov, blinked his gray-blue eyes and reported in a deep voice to Wu Zhuang, the chief general of the Tang Army, who was silently watching on the sidelines.

"Very good, clean up the scene immediately, all the heads are built outside the city into a Jingguan, and the corpses are thrown into the field to feed the dogs." Wu Zhuang smiled coldly and immediately ordered.

Zarduff shuddered again, and hurriedly replied: "Yes, I will do it immediately." When the Cossack mercenaries were busy cleaning up the scene and the corpses, Zhao Wencai, who was on the side, reported to Wu Zhuangyu in a low voice: "Wuda, how should these remaining Russian women and children be handled?" Wu Zhuang groaned for a while, and immediately replied: "The families of these women and children were killed by our army, and they are resentful in their hearts, and if they stay in Yakutsk City for a long time, they will inevitably cause trouble." On the third day, we arranged for the sentries and horses of the first battalion and the general of the first battalion, and moved them all to the temple fort, and finally took them to Sakhalin Island, where they formed a new family with the local immigrants and settled down.

“

"Okay, what about the natives in the city?

Supervisor Zhao asked again.

"Our army seized the city of Yakutsk and became a mortal enemy with Russia, and it is estimated that from now on, there will be no peace here. For the sake of insurance and to reduce the consumption of food in the fort, these natives, most of whom were natives, were allowed to take all their luggage and join the Russian women and children in the fort before they were placed on Sakhalin Island. ”

"Mayor Wu is reasonable, so let's arrange it like this." Wu Zhuang paused, and then said: "Now that the city of Yakutsk has been down, in order to strengthen the garrison and be prepared, we will make further improvements to this Yakutsk castle."

“

"Oh, what improvements?

Zhao Wencai was obviously interested.

"This Yakutsk Castle, although it is a fortress, has a much stronger defense capability than domestic cities, but it has no moats, and the enemy army can rush straight into the city, which is a huge hidden danger. Therefore, we must take advantage of the fact that there is still more than a month before it snows, repair this moat as soon as possible, bring water from the Lena River, and install drawbridges for these two gates, so that the level of defense of Yakutsk will definitely be much stronger than it is now.

“

"Mayor Wu is right, if there is a drawbridge in this Yakutsk city today, our army wants to conquer it, but it is really not so easy. It is a good thing to have this moat.

Zhao Wencai nodded in agreement. When Zhao Wencai went down to prepare for this matter, Wu Zhuang summoned Mikhail, the leader of the Russian caravan.

"Mikhail, you can leave Yakutsk with your goods and your family." Wu Zhuang gave him a gentle smile.

Mikhail hadn't recovered from the massacre just now, he let out a long breath, but said with a wry smile: "General Wu, I brought you here, sneak attack and captured the Yakutsk Castle, you are already a sinner in the Russian Empire, how can you go back?" Wu Zhuang smiled and shook his head: "Mikhail, in my opinion, the matter is not so serious, if you want to return to Russia, it will not be difficult at all." ”

"Oh, yes, General Wu, why do you think so?

Mikhail's eyes lit up.

"When you returned to your Russian cities, you told them bluntly that you were being held hostage by the Tang army. I wonder if the Russian Empire was not so brutal as to kill its own caravans that it was taking hostage. Mikhail sighed and nodded, agreeing with Wu Zhuang's opinion.

Wu Zhuang smiled again: "Mikhail, in my opinion, if you return to the rest of the Russian cities, instead of blaming you, they will only win you over. Because, the goods you trade with our army are rare and good goods for you Russians. Hearing Wu Zhuang say this, Mikhail also laughed: "I understand what you mean, General Wu must hope that after Xia Ruo goes back, he can still become a link between your army and Russia, right?" ”

"Mikhail, you are such a smart man, you can understand it at all. Ben has always believed that wars and conflicts are only temporary, and that trade and exchange are long-lasting. Wu Zhuang said with a smile.

"What the general said is that he hopes we can work together happily." Mikhail also laughed and said. Next, Wu Zhuang came to lead a guard and personally sent Mikhail's caravan away.

"General, we'll meet again later." Mikhail said with a laugh. Wu Zhuang nodded, waved goodbye to Mikhail, and turned back when he saw Mikhail's caravan with a large number of merchant goods, as well as all his family members, disappearing at the end of the west gate.

According to Wu Zhuang's arrangement, after resting for the next two days, the Russian women and children in the city and all the indigenous residents were brought back to Temple Street Fort by the sentry horses of the Tang Army's A Battalion A and the General C Sentinel.

At this time, Feng Shuangli, the guard general in the temple street fort, after receiving Wu Zhuang's reply to the capture of Yakutsk City, immediately dispatched the first battalion and B general soldiers and horses, with a large number of grain, grass and ordnance, to Yakutsk City in accordance with the previous agreement.

In this way, when all the inhabitants of Yakutsk were transferred to the temple fort, the army that had set out from the temple fort to deliver food to the city of yakutsk would have arrived just in time for the heavy snow to close the road.

In the days that followed, outside Yakutsk, a large construction site was in full swing, and all the defenders were mobilized to dig moats on the spot and try to finish them before the snow fell.

Ten days later, Golovin, the former governor of Yakutsk, fled back to Verkhniylyiminsk with a group of cavalry and musketeers.

Here he met with the governor of the city of Verkhniy Lyiminsk Spantenov. Spantenov and Golovin have always been good friends, and the two have always had a good personal relationship, so after Golovin fled from the city of Yakutsk, the first step was to think of the city of Verkhneliuminsk and find a way to find this friend Spantenov.

Hearing Golovin's low voice about the loss of the city of Yakutsk, Spantenov's face turned pale.

No, it is a huge irony that such a building, guarded by nearly 2,000 people, which can be regarded as Russia's first stronghold in the Far East, was attacked by the Tang army for thousands of miles.

The expansion of the Russian Empire into the Far East suffered a great setback, and it was arguably the worst defeat they had ever encountered since the European crusade.

"Golovin, I think you should report this matter to Moscow at once and wait for His Majesty the Emperor to deal with it." Spantenov looked melancholy and whispered.

"I know, but I don't know what His Majesty the Emperor will do with me. That's what scares me the most," Golovin lit a cigar and took a deep breath.

"What's the use of talking about that now?" Spantenov frowned and said, "How could you be so careless as to let these yellow-skinned monkeys get your hands on you?"

"If you think I'm willing, I can tell you that I don't know anything about them, not even what kind of Ming army they are. I never expected that these guys would come all the way to sneak attack them, which was completely beyond my expectations. Golovin exhaled a smoke ring in annoyance.

Spantenov also let out a long sigh, and said in a soft tone: "Golovin, if this is the case, it is better that you can make a quick decision in time and escape with these cavalrymen and musketeers, so as to recover some losses for the Russian Empire." In view of your previous great contribution to the construction of the city of Yakutsk, I am thinking that perhaps His Majesty the Emperor will open up to you. ”

"Well, if only it were as you say. It's just that I have lost the most important stronghold in the Far East of the Russian Empire, and even if His Majesty the Emperor spares my life, he will punish me severely. Golovin said with a sigh.

Spantenov raised his eyebrows and said, "Golovin, in my opinion, if you want His Majesty the Emperor to punish you lightly, it is not impossible. ”

"What's the solution?"

"If you can come up with the idea of atonement for your sins, and a way to recapture the city of Yakutsk, His Majesty the Emperor should give you a lighter punishment." Spantenov smiled.

Glovin blinked his dark blue eyes, as if he was carefully considering what Spantenov's words meant.

"I heard that in the north of the Ming Dynasty, there is also a new dynasty, the Qing Dynasty, Golovin, you have heard of it." Spantenov said softly.

"Of course I've heard of it, but this dynasty is too far away from the Heilongjiang River Valley, and I heard that it is in the Liaodong region, so I have never dealt with them." Golovin blinked, wondering what Spantenov meant by this.

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't take too much time to get to know a friend." Spantenov smiled: "Perhaps, you can think of a way to have good relations with this Qing Dynasty, so that they can do their best for you to recapture the city of Yakutsk." ”

"Is there any good way to do this? The city of Yakutsk has been lost, and I am now in such a dilemma that I can't get the financial resources to win over this so-called Qing Dynasty. Golovin said with a frown.

"Haha, man, winning over friends to have a good relationship is not something that necessarily requires a lot of money to do, you may be able to think about what those yellow-skinned barbarians lack the most, and what our Russian Empire is good at, then, you can naturally hit it off with the Qing Dynasty." When Golovin heard this, his eyes lit up: "Spantenov, do you think that I can let His Majesty the Emperor send more firearms troops to cooperate with these Qing Tatars?" ”

"That's right, Golovin, in my opinion, you can explain to His Majesty the Emperor, and after explaining to the Emperor the reason for the loss of the castle this time, you will propose to him that he should send at least two thousand musketeers to come, so as to offer cooperation to the Qing Dynasty on the condition of these two thousand musketeers." Spantenov said with a smile.

"Haha, I see what you mean. I can use these two thousand firecrackers as bait to negotiate with the Qing Dynasty, and the two sides will form an alliance with each other, and on the condition that we help the Qing Dynasty attack the Ming Dynasty, let them send troops to help us recapture the city of Yakutsk. Golovin had a look of abrupt realization.

"That's right, time is urgent, you immediately write a letter to His Majesty the Tsar, and ask him to send out the troops to reconquer the Far East, and as long as the letter agreed by the emperor arrives, even if the army is still on the way, you can start cooperation negotiations with the Qing Dynasty."

"Very well, Spantenov, your idea is really brilliant, then I will write to His Majesty the Emperor now." When Golovin finished speaking, the two of them laughed together.

In the living room, there is a pleasant atmosphere. A month later, Golovin's letter was delivered to the Moscow Kremlin.

The second emperor of the Russian Empire, Michael . Romanov, after seeing Golovin's letter, the anger in his heart was almost indescribable.

There was a reason why the tsar was so angry. It turned out that just a few months ago, Poland, together with Lithuania and Hungary, the three countries jointly attacked southern Russia, eliminating a large number of Russian troops caught off guard in Ukraine, and inflicting heavy losses on Russia.

The armies of the three countries have done all the bad things by burning, killing and looting in the Ukrainian region, but Russia is unable to fight back because of the lack of troops.

Finally, last week, on the condition of Russia's land reparations, the invasion of the three countries was finally ended.

In fact, the current Russian Empire is the king and hegemon in the East, but in Europe, it is still only a big and weak country, and from time to time it has to be harassed and attacked by other neighboring countries.

At this time, Russia was not only Poland, Lithuania, Hungary and other old Eastern European powers, but also Sweden, Estonia, Latvia and other countries often came to bully it.

Even the Ottoman Turkey in the south has from time to time gone north to strike at the polar bear, teaching it a lesson.

It was not until the time of Peter I that Russia began to learn Western science and technology on a large scale, that this country of feudal serfdom really began to become a powerful empire, and finally became a powerful hegemon in Europe.

Now that Tsar Michael saw Golovin's letter, and saw him tell about the loss of the city of Yakutsk, the sadness and anger in his heart were like a raging tide, which made his chest rise and fall with anger.

It was only after seeing Golovin's letter that he explained the methods and measures for retaking the city of Yakutsk, that the Tsar calmed down his excitement and anger a little, and began to think carefully about Golovin's proposal.

Czar Michael was a man of great ability, and when he calmed down and read Golovin's entire letter, he already agreed with Golovin's point of view.

Now that Russia has just experienced a major defeat, its troops are very insufficient, and if it wants to recapture the city of Yakutsk, it is no longer enough to rely on Russia's own strength.

In Siberia, the land is vast and sparsely populated, and the reinforcements that can be found are very limited, so it may be a good idea to take advantage of this Qing Dynasty, which is just a matter of hearing.

The Tsar immediately replied with a pen and agreed to Golovin's request. In the end, in addition to sending 2,000 Russian musketeers, he also agreed to give him 500 new Cossack mercenaries, all under his command, in short, with only one goal, to recapture the city of Yakutsk as soon as possible.
